Chapter 864: mercenary

A faint of cold wind blew, Ye Qingyun couldn't help tightening his clothes tightly.
A few days ago, the roar came from the north, and it seemed that Goryeo entered winter overnight.
"Commander Ye, Li Chengzai is progressing smoothly. Now they have controlled 27 cities in South Korea, and now there is only one Busan city left.
"Busan City?" Ye Qingyun looked at the sand table on the table, which was just created by the staff.
From this sand table, he can get a glimpse of the whole island of Goryeo.
Qu Dong nodded, "There is a cauldron-shaped mountain behind Busan City. This city got its name for this reason. Besides, according to the orders of the General Staff, we are going to build a dual-use terminal in Busan. In this way, the navy can go directly to the Wa country from Busan City, thereby controlling the waters of the Wa country."
Ye Qingyun nodded, "The emperor once said that this place is very suitable for building a deep-water port, so is there any difficulty for Li Cheng to win Busan?"
"Like Suwon Castle, the Wa country attaches great importance to Busan Fortress, and compared to Suwon City, this Busan city has been in business for a longer period of time. There are a large number of Wa Kingdom soldiers in the city, which can be described as the city’s guns.
It was about to enter the cold winter. For Ye Qingyun, he did not want to continue fighting in the winter. He said: "Busan City is now the only stronghold of Wa Kingdom in Goryeo. As long as this is removed, Wa Kingdom will be completely driven out of Goryeo. In order to keep this place, the country will do its best."
After a pause, he continued: "It is estimated that it is difficult to rely on Li Cheng to win this city. Since the emperor wants this city, we will send troops directly to Busan City, so that we can end the war before the cold winter arrives. It is logical to occupy this city."
"Yes, Commander Ye." Qu Dong agreed with Ye Qingyun's approach. The cold winter is a test for both soldiers and equipment.
And because it is too cold, the pier sometimes freezes in winter, which is definitely a disaster for soldiers as far away as Goryeo, because it will mean difficulty in supply.
After giving the order, Ye Qingyun continued to look at the sand table, and then he planted a dragon flag on top of Busan City.
On November 27, after an eight-day march, Ye Qingyun led eight thousand soldiers to the city of Busan to join Li Chengzai's army.
"Commander Ye, there are no less than the number of Japanese soldiers in the city of Busan, and there is also a mercenary composed of Westerners who fight fiercely and have advanced firearms than the Japanese."
Seeing Ye Qingyun, Li Cheng ran up to him all the way, vomiting bitterness.
"Mercenary!" Ye Qingyun frowned. He understood that Li Cheng was very worried now that the defeat in the war had left him dull.
But this excuse still made him a little annoyed, "There has never been any Western mercenary in the country."
"Not before, now there is." Suddenly a voice came.
Ye Qingyun looked in the direction of the sound, and saw Wang Xuan walking towards him.
"You, the head of the secret guard, have appeared here. It seems that Li Cheng is not lying." Ye Qingyun's brows deepened. "Didn't the navy block off the coast of Korea? How come there are ships coming."
Wang Xuan glanced at Busan City not far away. This city was built on a hill and faced the sea, with only two sides suitable for siege operations.
He said: "A warship is nothing but a seed falling into the river to the sea. It is impossible for such a large sea area to be flawless. Moreover, the Japanese nation is mobilizing navy forces to counterattack, and Yue Yun can only concentrate on destroying them first."
Ye Qingyun spread his hands, "Then let's talk about the mercenaries. What's the matter with them?"
"Edo Yiming's body has returned to the country of Japan. This incident shocked the country of Japan, especially Yamada. He is now estimated to be driven insane, because there are conflicts between the people." Wang Xuan said: "In fact, Yamada is not a long-standing name in the Japanese country. He was born in a humble background. He used to be a farmer. Later, he followed the Fujiwara family of the Japanese country to the North Mountain, and gradually gained the respect of the Fujiwara family. Finally, relying on the power of the Fujiwara family to have today's status, but The daimyo still looks down on him in his heart. It is for this reason that Yamada's behavior is so extreme."
Ye Qingyun said lazily: "I don't care about his past. Now he is our enemy. Whether he is a big name or a farmer, he has to pay now."
Wang Xuan shook his head, "As the saying goes, knowing the enemy and oneself is the only way to win every battle. You are still a reckless man. It is one thing to defeat the Wa country in Goryeo, but it is another matter to attack the Wa country. This is the basis for the disintegration of the Japanese country. Once Yamada Nobunaga loses his prestige, then the Japanese daimyo will probably continue to fight on their own. At this time, opening the Japanese market will be easier.
Ye Qingyun rubbed his head painfully. He and Wang Xuan were already familiar with each other, and now the secret guard commander became more and more narcissistic, and he seemed to teach others every time.
He immediately changed the subject, "Let's talk about the situation in Busan City, what is going on with this mercenary?"
"It was recommended to him by the British around Yamada. Edo Yiming's death caused a great loss of his reputation. If he loses Busan again, it will mean that his plan to send troops to Goryeo has completely failed, so now he wants to keep it at all costs. In Busan City, this mercenary with only two thousand men entered the country at this time. According to our understanding, Western countries used a large number of mercenaries during the colonization process, which is more cost-effective than sacrificing their own soldiers~www. EbookFREE.me~Two thousand people?" Ye Qingyun's expression relaxed, "I might worry about 20,000 people, but 2,000 people are really trivial."
While Ye Qingyun and his party were talking, a tall Swedish man with red hair on the Busan city wall was using a telescope to observe the army outside the city.
After learning about the equipment of the soldiers of Day Yu, he cursed: "This is not a simple army."
Beside him is a British man with blond hair and a little short head. He has a short-barreled musket at his waist and a long sword on his right side.
After receiving the tall man’s telescope, he took a closer look and said:
This time our purpose is not to help the Japanese country defend the city, but to test the strength of the Great Yu country’s army. Now in order to deal with the threat of this country, all of Europe is very tension."
"Those damned nobles should be nervous. There has never been a yellow-skinned country that has such a strong offensiveness. Goryeo has now been taken by them. It is estimated that the Japanese country is the next target for them to devour, and then I am afraid it will be a European colony ."
